Hi Mooshie,
Thanks for coming back to me. I did order the starter set with template, papers and glue stick. They have redrafted the template and now the seam allowance is correct for the points. However I was shorted 29 papers (7 blocks ). In the future, I'll so as you did and make my own papers.
I don't get on the Board nearly as much as I used to either. I'm about 4 months behind on reading. I was spending too much time on the computer and not enough at the machine.
